Hi there - here's a bit of code...

Code: [ Select ]
 
movePresents = function(){
    for (i=1; i<=6; i++) {
        trace ("present"+i+"_mc");
        this["present"+i+"_mc"].nextFrame();
    }
    /*present1_mc.nextFrame();
    present2_mc.nextFrame();
    present3_mc.nextFrame();
    present4_mc.nextFrame();
    present5_mc.nextFrame();
    present6_mc.nextFrame();
    present7_mc.nextFrame();
    present8_mc.nextFrame();
    present9_mc.nextFrame();*/
};
presentInterval = setInterval(movePresents, 10000);
movePresents();
 
  1.  
  2. movePresents = function(){
  3.     for (i=1; i<=6; i++) {
  4.         trace ("present"+i+"_mc");
  5.         this["present"+i+"_mc"].nextFrame();
  6.     }
  7.     /*present1_mc.nextFrame();
  8.     present2_mc.nextFrame();
  9.     present3_mc.nextFrame();
  10.     present4_mc.nextFrame();
  11.     present5_mc.nextFrame();
  12.     present6_mc.nextFrame();
  13.     present7_mc.nextFrame();
  14.     present8_mc.nextFrame();
  15.     present9_mc.nextFrame();*/
  16. };
  17. presentInterval = setInterval(movePresents, 10000);
  18. movePresents();
  19.  


the first time the code is run (with the movePresents() call), it works. When it runs via the interval, it doesn't work, although the interval does run.

See the code commented out? the non-for loop code? that works.

Ideas?

thanks!

This article illustrates your problem.

Code: [ Select ]
stop();
 
function movePresents(){
for(i=1;i<10;i++){
this["present"+i+"_mc"].nextFrame();
}
}
 
presentInterval=setInterval(this,"movePresents",1000);
  1. stop();
  2.  
  3. function movePresents(){
  4. for(i=1;i<10;i++){
  5. this["present"+i+"_mc"].nextFrame();
  6. }
  7. }
  8.  
  9. presentInterval=setInterval(this,"movePresents",1000);
